GOTF, including Phygital Fighting.MMA, takes place from December 18-23, 2025, and is hosted in the city of Abu Dhabi, UAE, which has positioned itself as a major international hub for next-generation hybrid sports. Within the broader calendar of the Games, Phygital Fighting.MMA holds a special importance: designed as the ultimate crossover between real-world mixed martial arts and digital combat simulation, it showcases both elite athleticism and advanced gaming skill in a single competition. A specific video game that will be used for the digital component of Games of the Future 2025’s Phygital Fighting.MMA discipline hasn’t been officially named yet. If we look at previous Phygital Fighting events, such as the one in Kazan in 2024, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate was used as the digital part, combined with real MMA rounds in the cage.

The Phygital Fighting.MMA discipline is also bolstered by a substantial prize pool, which underlines its growing prestige and its role in defining what the future of competitive combat sport could look like. Overall, the 2025 edition serves as a milestone for the phygital movement, solidifying Phygital Fighting.MMA as one of the marquee attractions of a global event built around innovation, high-level sport, and technologically enhanced performance.

Where Will Phygital Fighting.MMA at the Games of the Future 2025 Be Held?

Phygital Fighting.MMA, just like the entire GOTF 2025, will be held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). It’s an indoor event (in a physical exhibition-centre arena) combining both a physical combat component and a digital gaming component.

The overall prize pool for Phygital Fighting.MMA is US$500,000, but we were unable to find a publicly detailed breakdown of how the half a million dollars will be distributed (e.g., first place vs runners-up vs placement tiers).

We also couldn’t locate a confirmed figure for the number of teams or players participating specifically in the Phygital Fighting.MMA discipline at GOTF 2025.

Which Teams Will Take Part in Phygital Fighting.MMA at the Games of the Future 2025?

The following is what’s available regarding the number of teams and players participating in Phygital Fighting.MMA at the Games of the Future 2025 and a qualification process.

The tournament is part of the phygital sports ecosystem overseen by the World Phygital Community (WPC). Clubs and athletes qualify through a multi-level structure of competitions:

• Phygital Origins: regional tournaments.
• Phygital Rivals: national-level tournaments.
• Phygital Contenders: international qualifier tournaments that grant rights to compete at the Games of the Future 2025.

What remains unknown is which exact teams (or players) are participating in the Phygital Fighting.MMA discipline at GOTF 2025 and how each team/player qualified. So, while the general pathway is described (Origins → Rivals → Contenders → GOTF), the specific “who” and “via which qualifier” for each participant in this discipline remains unpublished. We’re unsure whether there are club teams vs individual athletes in this discipline (some phygital disciplines are team-based, others individual) and which format applies for Phygital Fighting.MMA at GOTF 2025. We’ll have to wait for the publicly released bracket or list of invites for this specific discipline.

Features of Phygital Fighting.MMA at the Games of the Future 2025

The number of stages (qualifier, group stage, knockout, finals) for Phygital Fighting.MMA, as well as dates for each of those stages (if multiple), are yet unknown.

We couldn’t find any publicly confirmed details for the discipline Phygital Fighting.MMA at the Games of the Future 2025, specifying match format (e.g., best‐of-3, first to 5, single elimination, double elimination) or the elimination system (single elimination, double elimination, round robin + knockout, etc.).

Who’ll Win Phygital Fighting.MMA at the Games of the Future 2025?

Given that, right now, there’s no public, discipline-specific field or seeding list for Phygital Fighting.MMA at GOTF 2025, i.e., confirmed roster for this discipline, or any official rankings/odds/power list for the Abu Dhabi tournament, we can’t honestly name specific favorites yet. Realistically, once the lineup drops, the favorites are likely to be athletes/teams who performed well at previous Phygital Fighting / MMA events, e.g., at GOTF 2024 in Kazan (the Kuznya team from Russia won the Phygital MMA tournament at the inaugural GOTF) and champions and finalists from the Phygital Contenders / Origins / Rivals circuits, since those series feed into Games of the Future across multiple disciplines. But until a proper fight card or bracket for Abu Dhabi is published, any specific name-dropping would be guesswork.

There are no visible futures or match markets yet for Phygital Fighting.MMA at GOTF 2025 on the sites we checked. What we do see is that some mainstream betting sites already price other phygital disciplines (e.g., Phygital Football and Phygital Basketball at Games of the Future 2025) in their football or basketball sections, which is a good indicator of where MMA markets are likely to appear later. So, to approach betting once markets open (general guidance), look under MMA / fighting or specials, or a dedicated “World Phygital / Games of the Future” or eSports tab.

The broadcast picture is clearer at the event level than at the discipline level. Media and audiences can follow GOTF 2025 live from Abu Dhabi’s ADNEC Centre or virtually from anywhere in the world, with live-stream coverage available via the event’s media setup. So, most likely, global/online broadcast will be free or semi-free official streams via GOTF’s own platforms (website + possibly YouTube/Twitch/social), with English commentary as default. We can’t say anything about the regional coverage yet.
